Debate: Was Cristiano Ronaldo was wrong to leave Manchester United?
Cristiano Ronaldo left Manchester United for Real Madrid last summer to win the biggest prizes. The Champions League trophy will indeed be making its way to the Bernabeu in May, but another team will be taking it home with them. [LNB]Ronaldo will be merely a spectator at this year's final after his Real side crashed out of the competition at the last 16 stage following a 2-1 aggregate defeat to Lyon. Incredibly, it is the sixth consecutive season that Real Madrid have been knocked out in this round. For a player of the ultimate ambition, seeing two other teams play for the trophy at his own ground will rankle.[LNB] Related ArticlesRonaldo hints at United returnRonaldo good, bad and uglyChampions League actionChampions League fixturesSport on televisionReal Madrid 1 Lyon 1; 1-2 aggEspecially if his former club is one of them.
